Mrauk U Princess Resort: "wonderful stay"

Lovely room, friendly staff. Much sightseeing in surrounding area. Sights that you would not see elsewhere. Six hour trip up the river from SIttwe was relaxing and very interesting. Stayed three nights. Not your average location but you get a terrific glimpse of the country

Pindaya Farm House: "Peaceful Place"

We really enjoyed our one-night stay here. It was peaceful, relaxing, and the food was so tasty and fresh! The room was clean (a space heater would have been useful!) and our little balcony gave a great view of the sunset and surrounding hills. Lovely!

NEELESHWAR: "PERFECTION, PERFECTION, PERFECTION"

"I've been travelling to India for many decades and over the years I have stayed in some amazing places, from Maharaja palaces to colonial mansions. What I can honestly say is that Neeleshwar represents the absolute perfection when it comes to resorts. We stayed for 4 nights and I only wish we could have stayed here for months! The location is heavenly, on the most magnificent, endless sandy beach one can imagine, completely unspoilt by any kind of development. The feeling of peace and quiet is mesmerizing. The architecture and layout of the resort is a model of good taste and sensitivity, with extremely comfortable a/c bungalows in the pure traditional architecture of rural Kerala. Open air bathrooms, supremely comfortable beds, high ceilings, shady verandas and cool interiors create a heaven of understated luxury and calm. This is barefoot chic at its best. The swimming pool is vast and crystal-clear, with plenty of comfortable pool beds and with a lovely view of the ocean. When it comes to food, I can only say that it is simply out of this world: Fantastic and huge breakfasts where one can choose from extensive menus, both international and South Indian. For lunch and dinner there are two exceptional restaurants, especially for seafood -perhaps the best prawn curry I ever had- plus a wide choice of vegetarian dishes and soups that change every day. The Ayurveda massages are truly top notch, and they use only natural organic ingredients. Quite simply, they are the real thing. Very highly recommended! Last but not least, I feel that I have to praise the hotel personnel, that are all impeccable: Extremely polite, eager to help, efficient and professional at the same time. I owe a very special ""THANK YOU"" to the General Manager, Mr. Jayan, who attended to all my needs as if he was an old friend. I am especially interested in the unique Theyyam ritual of northern Kerala and I was planning to publish an article about it. Mr. Jayan did all the necessary enquiries and found out the performances that were held in obscure villages during our stay. He also organized transport and even joined us on one of the late night Theyyams, which was the most amazing, otherworldly, intense experience. Therefore Neeleshwar is not just about having ""the rest of your life"" but also about experiencing a very unique aspect of real India. I cannot recommend this place highly enough and I would encourage anyone to spend a few -or more than a few- days in this Indian paradise "

Jing’s Residence: "Outstanding Hotel"

This is a wonderful oasis of an hotel in one of China's most impressively preserved walled cities. Really beautiful rooms, with a lovely common living area, immaculately kept, elegantly decorated. The food (and local wine!) was delicious and the staff very polite, attentive and helpful. You feel as though you are living in one of Zhang Yimo's earlier historical films (without the drama!). If there was a sixth star, I would have given it!

Maduzi Hotel: "Small, elegant, beautiful"

"This was the first time that I chose to stay in BKK at a smaller hotel. The choice is so varied and cheap in BKK that one is literally spoilt for choice. This one costs a little bit more but for that you essentially get a beautiful apartment like hotel room with every modern amenity and design feature. The breakfast is a pure joy in that it has the standard breakfast fair that most hotels do. The difference is in the quality and presentation. I felt loved and looked after by the staff who in quintessential Thai ways went out of their way to make me feel at home. Stayed December 2016, traveled solo"

Manda De Laos: "Quaint and charming"

"If you go here make sure you go for lunch or before the sun sets because the place is beautiful and at night it's lost The food is amazing and lovely taste of local food and the service is 5 star I loved this place, the setting the food the atmosphere. Everything!!!"

Villa Song Saigon: "Superb and enchanting"

"You have to go to believe how unique it is . The speed boat to downtown Saigon was the icing on the gateau. We arrived mid morning and were offered complimentary breakfast . Our rooms were most exciting . I shall never forget Villa Song . "

Sandat Glamping Tents: "Gem of a property – Truly peaceful"

"A magical, beautifully landscaped property with eco-architectural designs... Exceeded our expectations! We stayed in the Ylang Ylang tent for 4 nights. The tents are secluded, comfortable and very well decorated, each with its own private pool and stunning jungle views. We enjoyed the in-room massages. The staff were extremely kind and helpful. The shuttle service into Ubud town was useful. The owners will be adding yoga facilities to Sandat in the near future. A truly perfect place to unwind. I looking forward to visiting again soon. Thank you!"

Slow Villas and Spa: "A real ultimate experience"

"Imagine : a private pool, a typical villa on the Gilli isle... That was amazing and the staff was so nice with us... The breakfast, the candel light diner... All was perfect... Yes we were not far from the heaven..We will come back again for sure as soon as possible."

The Twelve Hotel: "Nothing better"

Good choice, we read the reviews and this time we have not freagato. Clean place quiet and in great location. Comfortable rooms. From here we move on public transport in all directions. Then in the evening, after all the day in the chaos of Bangkok it looks like an oasis.
